Rest in Peach

"He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul." - Psalm 23 -  the confidence prayer continues. We can rest in peace because we trust the care and keeping of our Shepherd, our needs are satisfied, we are restored in our soul. I know, all this sounds crazy when we are consumed in the troubles of the world and our own personal troubles, but faith matters, spiritual  matters, God matters always rise above the "realities" of now and enables us to trust to the perspective of eternal love. Thus our total being(mind, body,spirit) has a  chance to be restored and see things wisely. The confidence prayer that allows jus to pause....

Psalm is Confidence

>
>
> In some recent Bible study reading I came across the thought that the 23rd Psalm is a CONFIDENCE psalm. The writer sees this psalm as a place we go in our minds when we are afraid. I realize how wonderfully true this is. I find myself praying this psalm either in its entirety or parts of it as I feel the need. To think that The Lord Is My Shepherd therefore I have everything I need is confidence thinking.

"....HE WAS AFRAID TO GO THERE." (Matt. 2:22) -- Joseph had to make a decision about where to move his family. Fortunately for baby Jesus and all his posterity, his earthy father answered the wisdom beyond the fear he felt for the safety of his family. === Wise parents recognize the proper place of fear as a warning signal and listens to the truth, the danger, the foolishness of continuing a certain path or behavior.

THE CHALLENGES YOU FACE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO DISCOVER HIDDEN TALENTS AND TO STRENGTHEN YOUR CHARACTER MUSCLES.

Stephen, in the New Testament Church, was selected to oversee the administration of food and care to widows and orphans. He was a Spirit centered person who performed this ministry as his way of serving God by helping persons in need. I see two meanings: 1) a person needs a strong and healthy relationship with God. 2) a person needs to be available and willing to serve wherever the need arises. Whatever your work, offer it as a service to God's in the world.
